The Cloudcast #196 - Inside Cloud Foundry Operations

Aaron and Brian talk to Cornelia Davis (@cdavisafc; Cloud Foundry Platform Engineering at Pivotal) about her experience working on the Pivotal Web Services Operations Team, her experience as both a developer and operator and why she believes that Containers-alone aren't enough to build a PaaS platform.

• Cornelia's Blog at Pivotal
• Revelations from the Field - Life in the Operations Team

Topic 1 - You were a developer first. You write a great blog post on the benefits to operations as well as developers from PaaS. Can you elaborate?

Topic 2 - You spoke at the EMC {code} event at EMC World, what did you talk about what was your experience at the event?

Topic 3 - I liked in your presentation you had a slide on smoother effort, less risk. Tell us a little more about that concept and how it relates to running large operations at scale.

Topic 4 - You also mention containers aren’t enough. Tell us what you mean by that?
